Krovech Krov: Кrovska [krəʊvskɑ]), officially the Republic of Krovech Krov: Republika Krovska [rɪˈpʌblɪka krəʊvskɑ] is a sovereign state situated in east Asura. It is bordered by TBD. As of 2020 it is inhabited by nearly 21 million citizens. The most spoken and official language of Krovech is Krov with over 20 million speakers. Krovech is a unitary parliamentary constitutional republic. The countries climate stays temperate with it's notable geography of coastal beaches wrapped around it's southwest and flat and agrarian lands with low mountains in it's northwest. The capital and largest city of Krovech is Algrade out of the divided 11 districts of the nation with the cities of Boletck, Algrade, and Leckvoshev with autonomous city authority.

Before the creation of the Krov republic were petty kingdoms neighboring the smaller territories of modern day cultural regions of Arstenska and Vojnika dated in the 14th century, the Krovs, consolidating for a great feudal kingdom formed a short lived dual monarchy with the Arstensks and forged a maritime kingdom of commerce. In many instances the throne was contested many times notably the Kamenar War lasting from the late 14th century and into 1421 between the Arstensk House of Inovo and the Krov House of Bortis which ended in a Bortis victory. The Arstensk dynasty shortly became heirless after the death of King Mioslav IV and dissolved quickly after. Later into the 15th century Leckvoshev was in constant skirmishes between Leckvic Vojnik-Krajina and the Krov House of Dražen under Marin the Great until the 1446 Algrade Accord, capitulating Leckvoshev and ending the war.

The kingdom underwent the ages of enlightenment where reforms opted to centralize the government, rename the monarch holder King of the Krovaks, abolish serfdom and establish a parliament in Algrade. Incompetence of the concurrent ruler Selkovic II in the 19th century would see many natural disasters and famines crippling the economic stability. The failure of the monarchist government created a bloody 2 year civil war which would result in the abolishment of the monarch and the creation of a parliamentary republic.

The proclamation of the Republic of Krovech would see a convention to create a constitution and its elections between it's newly birthed parties. After the infighting internal issues regarding Leckvoshev given independence in return for its contributions to the monarchist government during the civil war, it had created a thought of revanchism from the late 20th to the early 21st century where the country oversaw the ethnic nationalism in the streets of Leckvoshev erupt into violence due to the failed expectations of a reformed democratic government after corruption was seen within former President Franko Krešimir's administration. Months into the culminating insurrection in the hastily established separatist government in the Krajina; tensions defused in peace agreements with Leckvoshev granted city autonomy and status was increased in the Boletck Agreement in 2002.

Krovech has since regained its economic growth with its developed high income service and market based economy, the country is notable for it's historical and financial architecture in it's city centers and marginal though thriving agrarian foods and culture.

Etymology

The origins of the name Krovech comes from the Proto-Leonic word krȍv (roof) and "-ech", meaning land. Usages of the word among many later variations can be traced by the first settlements of Marindom in the early 600's by the intruding Krovs. After the many centuries of conquering the west of the Diemka the now loose kingdom had the name applied to the expanded elevated territories stopping to the raided Vojnika frontier, making it the 'roof' of Krovech.
